Why would this announcement be put in this forum? It should have been put in ATMB. **Euty** , I hope you will return, as you were the only one who had any class in the matter. Peace. the Bob ---

I don’t usually pay much attention to this kinda stuff, so I’m kinda curious as to what the matter referenced above is. ---

Hmm. Upon reading **DAVEW0071** ’s post, I think I have a fairly good idea about what it would be. Never mind that question in my last post. ---

I can ditto dropzone’s statement that a hiatus is swell. I’ve been gone for three weeks, that was a short period after I was gone for 2 1/2 weeks, and I don’t think anyone noticed at all. ---

> [@](#): > > You think if you let it die here you are going to escape the consequences of your actions? I don’t think so **Scotticher**. Threatening the owners/administrators of the board doesn’t exactly sound like a good strategy. All of your anger ain’t gonna get it reversed, even if you hold your breath. Take it to emai if you have a problem. ---

Thank you for your thoughts on this situation, **samclem**. I wasn’t aware that I had in any way threatened to hold my breath until they did the right thing, but now that you bring it up I see that it wouldn’t be a very good strategy. Therefore, I will not ever threaten to hold my breath in order to get what I want. This shouldn’t be a problem, as I have never in my life done this sort of thing. I WILL however, continue to say what I think. And what I think is that trying to hide an unpopular (because it is WRONG, IMHO) administrative decision in a forum that most people are going to miss is…WRONG. So, we have A] An administrator who broke the rules of the board and B] An administrative decision that was wrong. You don’t like my assessment of the situation? Fine. You have the right to disagree with me. For your information, I DID take it to email. Apparently ignored, or disagreed with. THAT is their right, also. And I have the right to disagree with their decision. Which I DO. As far as what YOU said about what I said… > [@](#): > > Scotticher. Threatening the owners/administrators of the board doesn’t exactly sound like a good strategy. All of your anger ain’t gonna get it reversed, even if you hold your breath. I fail to see that I threatened ANYONE…I wouldn’t ever DO that, and I don’t see where you got this from my post. ---

Well, all I can say is that anybody who managed to get Scotticher mad fucked up real bad. Cheri, I’m with you. This sucks. Samclem, do not minimize her anger. You’ve known this woman longer than I have and I ask you, has she EVER been this mad? Hey! Ed Zotti! Calling it “placing him on hiatus” is, oh, **weasly**. You fired him, 'kay? Say the truth rather than bullshitting us, please. ---

You fired him, 'kay? Say the truth rather than bullshitting us, please. \*\* I have no clue what the current fuss regarding Euty is all about other than the assumption that it probably grew out of the emotional tempest a few weeks ago surrounding Persephone’s run in CPS and the sore feelings all around that situation created. But I could be wrong. With all due respect dropzone we are allowed the privilege of posting here for free by the good graces of Ed Zotti and the Chicago Reader and their willingness to cut a check big enough to cover the cost of maintaining this message board. Handling delicate and unpleasant administrative issues is tough enough without people accusing you of being a disingenuous weasel. I think the less gas on the fire at this point re this situation with Euty the better. ---

Rats…I don’t know what the SAM HILL is going on with my computer. I had this nice post all composed…and lost it. Anyway, during the time I was trying to recreate my post, my friend/sister **Shayna** called and convinced me that I should just shut up already. So, I will. ---

I’ll agree with you about the gas, astro. I just don’t like euphemisms like “hiatus,” though I do recommend a person taking one now and then and believe that Pat would benefit from one. Also, if Cheri is mad about this like she is I will support her. She is the slowest person to anger I know. Plus I thought the whole sequence of events that shall not be mentioned was handled poorly, like most events that have anything to do with mods here, then got swept under the table when it started getting messy. I suppose it’s what you get when you have geeks and know-it-alls running a loony bin full of geeks and know-it-alls. Management skills are lacking here, but the help’s free. (shrug) ---

Well Rats, beans, ratselfrass and things of that nature. Having been published as CatBiker in the "Teemings"™ and knowing Pat from back in the old AOL days and all that stuff. Damn. The world is round, It’s not fair, It’s just damn round!!! ---
